[quote=Anonymous]The work is hard and the expectations are high. None of this is new. If a high GPA is your goal, you are safer staying at just about any base school in FCPS. If a challenging experience is what you are looking for, go to TJ. My kid goes there and loves it; she is not getting straight As for the first time in her life but I can see so much growth in her process and work ethic. She is also into the arts and has found a strong community of smart, motivated kids. None of this will not get her into a T10 program but that was not her (or our) goal. All that said, I am confident she will show up at college 1000 times more prepared than I was to manage the workload. [/quote]
